Developing synaesthesia: a primer

Developing synaesthesia: a primer

Synaesthesia is a variation of human experience that involves the automatic activation of unusual concurrent experiences in response to ordinary inducing stimuli. The causes for the development of synaesthesia are not well understood yet. Synaesthesia may have a genetic basis resulting in enhanced cortical connectivity during development. However, in some cases synaesthesia has a sudden onset, ...

Developing Mobile Applications: A LIME Primer

Mobility poses peculiar challenges that must be addressed by novel programming constructs. LIME (Linda in a Mobile Environment) tackles the problem by adopting a coordination perspective inspired by work on the Linda model. The context for computation, represented in Linda by a single, globally accessible, persistent tuple space, is reinterpreted in LIME as the transient sharing of the tuple sp...

Synaesthesia

biologist in Singapore? Singapore is an extremely attractive place to live and work for both Asians and non-Asians. English is spoken by everyone and it has become a very appealing place for Asian (typically, but not exclusively, Chinese and Indian) and non-Asian (from North America, Europe, Australia and New Zealand) researchers trained elsewhere to move to. For the Asians, this is home or clo...

A Primer for Using Transgenic Insecticidal Cotton in Developing Countries

Many developing countries face the decision of whether to approve the testing and commercial use of insecticidal transgenic cotton and the task of developing adequate regulations for its use. In this review, we outline concepts and provide information to assist farmers, regulators and scientists in making decisions concerning this technology. We address seven critical topics: 1) molecular and b...
